Hey guys, I found this step by step guide and wanted to run it by you guys before I try it out myself for my first grow.
( Note, I did not make this guide, I'm just sharing it )

Germinating seeds.
Growing your plants / Flowering.
Harvesting / Drying.
Curing.
Step 1: Germinating seeds
Things needed for germination:
Feminized Seeds
A Tupperware container
Some white paper towels
Clean water
20-15-15 soil
Step 1: Gather all the items needed for germination.
Step 2: Place a wet paper towel sheet in the Tupperware.
Place the seeds on top of the wet paper towel.
Place two more wet paper towels on top of the seeds.
Step 3: Close the container and put it in a warm dark area.
Normal room temperature is fine.
Step 4: Check your seeds twice daily, allowing fresh air to
reach the seeds. Do not touch the seeds at all!
If the paper towels seem to be drying out, spoon some more water in.
Step 5: Eventually, you will see a root tip begin to emerge, never mess
with the root tip, it is the entire future of your plant.
Step 6: Time to make a pot to hold the seeds. Party cups with holes at
the bottom are my choice for now.
Step 7: Fill the cup with 20-15-15 soil, water it well, then set it aside to drain
for about 10 minutes.
Step 8: Make a small indent in the soil, in the middle of your pot.
Your seeds want to be planted only about 1 inch deep. Any more than
that and they will not survive. Also only 1 seed per cup.
Step 9: Transfer the germinated seeds into the hole very carefully.
You want to try to get the root tip pointing down but be careful because
too much movement will ruin your germinated seeds.
Step 10: Cover the seed with a bit of loose soil, Then cover them with baggies
to hold the moisture in.
Step 11: Check them daily but never touch or water them. Leave them alone!
Step 12: If done correctly, your plant should begin to sprout in about 1-10 days.
You may now remove the plastic baggie.
Step 13: You can now begin to water again. A general rule of thumb is to wait
until the upper layer has dried out before you sprinkle with water again.
Step 14: After 1-2 weeks the seedlings will be strong enough to be moved
into a larger container.
Step 2: Growing your plants / Flowering
Things needed for growing:
Ladybug eggs
Good Fertilizer
PH scale
Step 1: Dig out your area where they are going to be planted. Apply 10-30-20
fertilizer to the ground to give the plant added nutrients. Mix with soil.
Step 2: Your now going to take your plants and move them into the ground.
They should be planted no more than 1 inch in the ground.
Step 3: Apply your ladybug eggs around your grow site, these little
lifesavers will kill all the bugs trying to get at your beautiful plants.
Step 4: Water the plants only when the soil feels dry, checking your PH
before you water them, normal PH level is 6.3-6.9
If you have done all the steps correctly you will begin to see flowers
start to bloom over the next 2 weeks.
Step 5: Its time to get rid of the males, they can ruin your end product.
Use a search engine to find pictures of males to better help you pick them out.
Step 6: Just continue to give the plants water and fertilizer. Remembering not
to give them too much. After some weeks of flowering the plants will become heavy with buds. Resin building has started and a shiny layer of little crystals begins to cover it.
Step 7: You will begin to see brown hairs emerge, that means you have about 3 more weeks until harvest, Stop giving your plants fertilizer about 10 days before your estimated harvest date.
Step 8: For the last ten days, just give your plants PH adjusted water, just enough so they will survive off of that. The less water is in the plant’s system when harvesting,the sooner the buds will be dry.
Step 3: Harvesting / Drying
Things needed for harvesting:
Patience
Scissors
Step 1: Start removing the big fan leaves.
Step 2: Take a scissor and cut away all the other leaves, so you are only left with
stem, side branches and buds.
Step 3: Save the leaves and dry separately, you may be able to make hash withit
Step 4: Cut the stem right above the soil and hang it upside down in a dark, well
ventilated place for at least a week. This may be required to be moved indoors now.
Step 5: Clip the buds from the stems and give them about another week to dry.
The buds are ready to be smoked if they make a snapping sound when you bend them.
Step 4: Curing
Things needed for curing:
Glass airtight jars
Step 1: Just store them at a cool and dark place and open the lid occasionally to
give the buds some air. Although the buds are ready to smoke, you can increase smell,
taste and smoothness by curing.
The end:
If you've followed all the steps correctly, you should now have a very successful grow
and a lot of the good stuff for you to enjoy.
-I will probably be putting the seeds in water for 24 hours then into the ground. I was told that germinating them with the paper towel method then putting them into the ground is risky. Because of the fact that I still live with my parents and I don't have anywhere to put the seeds until they sprout which is why I'm thinking of putting them in water then putting them into the ground with the essential nutrients. Does that sound like a good plan?
